Bill Maher:
"Let me ask a more nuanced question about this. Is it okay to have a conspiracy to get rid of Trump? This came up this week because my friend Sam Harris was on a podcast and he said..."
Rob Reiner:
"What do you mean a conspiracy to get rid of Trump?"
Bill Maher:
"I'm going to tell you."
Rob Reiner:
"Okay. Thank you."
Bill Maher:
"He was talking about Hunter..."
Amy Klobuchar:
"I'm going to defer to my lawyer here (indicating Rob Reiner)."
Bill Maher:
"Truer than you know."
"They were talking about Hunter Biden's laptop, which was a story, and now all the main stream press has finally admitted it was a real story, it was a real laptop with... Now, look... lets not pussyfoot around this. He was selling the influence of his father, Joe Biden. I mean, most political sons do. Let's not pretend, that at least, that was not going on. I mean, the guy, some guy from China gave him, after a dinner, and $80,000.00 diamond... after dinner, as one ...does."
Rob Reiner:
"Yes."
Bill Maher:
"If, you're Naomi Campbell ( https://www.naomicampbell.com/ ), it doesn't usually happen, but, okay... . So, Hunter Biden's laptop was buried by the press. Even the head of Twitter, Jack Dorsey said that was a mistake. They buried the story because they remembered what happened with James Comey and 'The Letter' eleven days before the 2016 election. Comey said we've got to reopen this email investigation with Hillary Clinton and it probably was the last... I mean, she ran a horrible campaign, didn't go to Wisconsin, we know all that. But this was probably the last thing that sunk her."
"So Sam Harris said, "It was appropriate for Twitter, and the heads of Big Tech, and the heads of journalistic organizations, to feel that they were in the presence of something that is a once-in-a-lifetime moral emergency." Meaning: Trump. So he's saying that its okay to have a conspiracy to get rid of somebody as bad as Trump. Its a little bit of a thorny question because once you go down this road, this is sort of where we are in this country. The other side is so evil anything is justified in preventing them from taking office."
"Is it?"
What happens next is the very definition of The Mamet Principle...
In order to continue advancing their illogical arguments modern liberals have to pretend not to know things…

08/26/22 Real Time With Bill Maher
Guests / Rob Reiner and Senator Amy Klobuchar
Bill Maher:
"Let me ask a more nuanced question about this. Is it okay to have a conspiracy to get rid of Trump? This came up this week because my friend Sam Harris was on a podcast and he said..."
Rob Reiner:
"What do you mean a conspiracy to get rid of Trump?"
Bill Maher:
"I'm going to tell you."
Rob Reiner:
"Okay. Thank you."
Bill Maher:
"He was talking about Hunter..."
Amy Klobuchar:
"I'm going to defer to my lawyer here (indicating Rob Reiner)."
Bill Maher:
"Truer than you know."
"They were talking about Hunter Biden's laptop, which was a story, and know all the main stream press has finally admitted it was a real story, it was a real laptop with... Now, look... lets not pussyfoot around this. He was selling the influence of his father, Joe Biden. I mean, most political sons do. Let's not pretend, at least, that that was not going on. I mean, the guy, some guy from China gave him, after a dinner, and $80,000.00 diamond... after dinner, as one ...does."

Even the head of Twitter, Jack Dorsey said that was a mistake. They buried the story because they remembered what happened with James Comey and 'The Letter' eleven days before the 2016 election. Comey said we've got to reopen this email investigation with Hillary Clinton and it probably was the last... I mean, she ran a horrible campaign, didn't go to Wisconsin, we know all that. But this was probably the last thing that sunk her."
"So Sam Harris said, "It was appropriate for Twitter, and the heads of Big Tech, and the heads of journalistic organizations, to feel that they were in the presence of something that is a once-in-a-lifetime moral emergency. Meaning: Trump. So he's saying that its okay to have a conspiracy to get rid of somebody as bad as Trump. Its a little bit of a thorny question because once you go down this road, this is where we are in this country. The other side is so evil anything is justified in preventing them from taking office."
"Is it?"
What happens next is the very definition of The Mamet Principle...
In order to continue advancing their illogical arguments modern liberals have to pretend not to know things…
